Screw It and Do It Challenge 2, Week 2

Day six:
 More scraps from my desk. I used thin washi to cover the seams. Got the stamped image from a swap. I wanted to add something to the corners, and remembered this box of random sequins I got in a swap.
Day seven:
 I really liked the color of this envelope. I wanted to use some some unicorn stickers I bought, but didn't like how they looked on the background. This unicorn was a wish granted. I picked out some washi for it to lie on. I liked the word believe from the unicorn sticker sheet, but not the speech bubble it was in so I spelled it out with some alphas I got.
Day eight:
 The cherry blossom scrap just fit on so perfect I knew I needed to use it. I just added some pink to cover the rest of the page. I noticed the fairy die cut and added her with a little green glitter pen as repair. The letters are something I'm trying to get rid of.
Day nine:
I wanted to use my "found relatives" Tim Holtz ephemera. I just added the chevron paper as background with a rub on sentiment from Target and heart stickers from a Valentine's sheet from Hobby Lobby.
Day ten:
 No plan here. I saw the background piece and it fit. The washi was on the desk (from a swap) and it matched. I saw the rub ons (from Target) and added those. Also saw the sequins (from Hobby Lobby) and liked the pop of color, had to add a little bling (from a swap) to cover the holes.
Day eleven:
 Found this card on my floor (from a swap long ago), used the red washi to cover up part I cut out for a tag. Thought the jar sticker (from Walmart) looked good. The hearts and you & me are from a Valentine's Day kit (from Hobby Lobby). I layered the you & me on some pink for more color and added the butterfly (from Dollar Tree) to cover a spot.
Day twelve:
I had the background with the circle cut out of it. I added the doily to it to cover the empty spot. Who knows where the banner came from. I stapled it on and added a puffy zebra heart from a swap. I added an arrow on top of another one. The polar bear was part of a birthday RAK, I attached it with foam tape. I think it would have looked better without the doily.

An art challenge

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY IN ONE WEEK!!!!!

EDIT: I still haven't finished my box yet, I could blame it on the fact I thought it wasn't supposed to be done until the end of June, or the fact that I was planning on working on it this weekend, but had a change (and extension) in my working hours, and ended up relaxing on the couch both days after getting done. I WILL work on it tonight and tomorrow until I get it done. I know I just need to get into my craft room (which I couldn't do today, because the pest control had to come, and he had to walk around my apartment without tripping over things) and stare until I get it done.

Aside from that, I'm participating in Lisa's Outside of the Box challenge. She sent me a soap box to do whatever with. Now, my first idea was to cover it in fabric. So, I sprayed adhesive on to the box and wrapped my fabric around it and then added a ribbon, well it looked bad, so I took it all off. My only problem was, now it was tacky, so I got out some black paint and painted over it. Then I used my new glimmer mist and sprayed that over it, after it dried, it was a tiny bit to glimmery for me, so I took a sponge and sponged on some blue metallic paint, now I don't know what to do with it.

I've already seen some peeks of other's boxes, and realized I have to have it done by Monday, I was thinking I had until Wednesday. Oh well, I do have tomorrow and Sunday around my work schedule to figure it out.

I was thinking of maybe making it into an art doll, but at this point I don't know.



Here's what the outside looks like:

And the inside:

Hopefully it will look a lot better than this in a couple days.
